Turkey's agricultural input and industrial leaders are establishing a strategic operational footprint in Central Asia through the newly developed Uzbek-Turkish Industrial Zone in Tashkent. Led by OSTIM’s industrial zone management framework, major players including HEKTAŞ are expanding local manufacturing capacity to service regional livestock and crop production needs.

Economic and commercial cooperation between Turkey and Uzbekistan is expanding into strategic industrial manufacturing. Under the execution of Ankara's OSTIM Organized Industrial Zone, the Uzbek-Turkish Industrial Zone in Tashkent has been established as a model for regional industrialization. The project forms part of broader bilateral agreements to build specialized industrial infrastructure, including the planning of "Future Metals Technoparks" across Chirchiq, Ohangaron, and Nurobod to process mineral wealth into high-value technical products.

Key Turkish agricultural and industrial enterprises, notably HEKTAŞ and Evyap, have joined the zone as primary investors. OSTIM Chairman Orhan Aydın noted, "In the region, major Turkish companies including HEKTAŞ and EVYAP have also taken their places as investors. The industrialization paradigm in Uzbekistan has transformed." The initiative establishes a localized manufacturing hub for agricultural chemicals, animal health, and livestock inputs, positioning Turkish manufacturers to directly support Central Asian farming operations and supply networks.

The expansion aligns with Uzbekistan's strategy to leverage international management expertise and private investment to transform its raw material reserves and agricultural capacity into high-value regional manufacturing hubs.
